Dave and Nick had a primo after work session last night and returned home with the cooler full of snapper! Go the soft bait, Dave reckons he is NEVER fishing with a pilly again! This was definitely Dave’s best catch to date!

It was a beautiful evening, the kids and dogs had so much fun. When it got dark we pulled the wagon back up the hill to Nick and Debbie’s house to see in the New Year.
